Question

1. Bob Dylan using figurative language in many of his song lyrics. Below read through a few of his lyrics. What
type of figurative speech does he utilize here?
"How does it feel to be without a home
like a complete unknown
like a rolling stone?"

Answer 1

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

Similes are the figurative language that writers use in their works to present a comparison of one thing to another but which are not connected or related to one another. Similes are easy to detect with their use of the word "like'" or "as" in their comparison.

In Bob Dylan's song Like A Rolling Stone, the chorus of the song has the lines "How does it feel to be without a home / Like a complete unknown / Like a rolling stone?" These lines are a form of simile where he draws a comparison between someone "without a home" and "a rolling stone", that has no permanent place, someone, or something that keeps on moving.  

Thus, the figurative language that Dylan utilize is a simile.
